wild to me looking back how much has changed since siege, this kind of boxy style with only a handful of moving altmode parts feels very foreign to what legacy has been giving us
From this mold, I still crave to have Siege Crosshairs as when I saw pics of him, it hit my likes. Should also add that Netflix WFC trilogy released this mold as Deseeus Army Drone.
I think Ironhide is still my favorite figure of the entire WFC trilogy. Well, and Ratchet (fun fact: Doc bot is STILL the only exclusive I have ever actively hunted down).
I never saw this guy on normal store shelves, either. I eventually found one at a pharmacy shortly before Earthrise hit, and to this day, I don't regret paying the six dollar markup for him.
Yeah, I think "stalwart" is a good word for this Ironhide. They did a great job of giving him his traditional look while fussing a little with the altmode to make it "Cybertronian". Respect.
When I got him I was like "yup, he's a boxy boy with boxes that box" but I genuinely had trouble putting him down. He's just very tactile confort food.
The Earthrise retool? Man, I remember the absolute speed at which that sold out. So glad we got SS86 later, even if the transformation has some iffy parts.
*Siege Ironhide & Ratchet* are who i've stuck with, even after Hasbro went back to the well several more times since. Both are Solid representations of the G1 characters.
It's such a good mold, the one Seige figure i still pull out of storage regularly. More giant robots need to be like Gaogaigar and wield impractically large hammers
Would you believe my favorite version of this mold was the Auto Trooper? too bad it was a multi-pack hostage, but I found a guy on ebay selling it on it's own for a fair price.
Untill Hasbro decided to return the WFC Games, this Ironhide was my IDW RID "bot up and save the world" Ironhide But now even as gamerverse exists, this Ironhide still holds, and will hold, a special place in my heart and on my comics robots shelf(s) Earthrise Ironhide eventually became IDW 'ations Ironhide, so this one might just end up being 'Woke up on Cybertron dying to punch Alpha Trion' Costa Ironhide It's important to have a shelf for every occasion
A thing with gundam legs...... I'm gonna use that quote from now on so thank you and I say this as a gundam fan lol. Really though anytime I see iron hide it just doesn't scream ironhide if he doesn't have red and a bit of Gray around him. And recently I've went through a weird recession where I'm reminded oh yeah Iron hide like 2 movies and then there was one time where he was a stupid brat in energon....... Yeah definitely much prefer him as he is in other media but great job as always!
'Enbooben' - Word of the Year Kind of funny how your side wasn't easily able to Ironhide, because they were plentiful here and I could not find either Siege or Earthrise Ratchet anywhere...As soon as ID Toys sold out, they never restocked...Oh well, At leave I have the SS one ^^
Im surprised Vangelus didnt comment on the clearly visible, scrunched-down, head in the window of the alt mode. Even if it doesn't bother him, it's the kind of thing I could picture him at least mentioning in passing during his flavorful rundown of the figure.
youtube has offered me the pre-written responses of, "It is my goal to keep up with the Transformers releases and provide accurate information! 💪" or "I pronounce things the way I do, that’s just the way it is lol "
This figure makes me yearn for more gimmick in my transforming toys there hasnt been much transforming weapon accessories with transformers since Siege Ironhide came out. Its a shame id prefer a funky rocket hammer over a boring riffle even Legacy's Armada Starscream who has a canonical hinged wing sword didnt get a folding sword, not since his first generations toy
That's some efficient packaging, doesn't even exist physically, no waste there.
Finally some respect for the green initiative
That Hammer/rocket launcher combo makes me wish they did more transforming weapons,it's like mech tech but more streamlimed

That. That was beautiful. Sir.
🙏

The "ire- nhide" joke caught me off guard
I’ll argue that this figure is still better than the studio series version
Another cool trick in alt mode is to open the leg panels, to reveal 5mm ports inside his shins, for even more firepower!
That was a STRONG "H" in whelp, and I appreciate that gumption
I'm 43 and I love me some Vangelus reviews

I found this RUclips video to be well written and produced. I enjoy Vangelus reviews, and look forward to the next one.
3:37 Nonnef has a red groin available. It’s a good groin upgrade.
3:38 In other words......the turbo t-bag.
I think Ironhide is still my favorite figure of the entire WFC trilogy. Well, and Ratchet (fun fact: Doc bot is STILL the only exclusive I have ever actively hunted down).
"But Prahm!"
Vangelus’s southern accent is something to behold
Even after all this time him and Ratchet are my go-tos. Thank you for recognizing the unique handfeel of this guy
I believe that maneuver is called the Perineum Plunge.
The genuine despair I felt when reminded this toy is 5 years old. It feels like siege was only yesterday. . .
Crosshairs is one of my fave figures in the last few years, such a fantastically simple robot in beautiful colours with nice tampos to boot
“Enbooben”
Now that’s an interesting way to describe the conversion in the chest

Enbooben should be added to all dictionaries

I'm famous! Also you're welcome! Glad you were finally able to get your hands on the boy
thank you for your assistance!!
This is my favorite chug Ironhide. The studio series looks better in robot mode, but the transformation is not as fun.
I have three of this mold and I don’t regret it
Checking out that New Toy! 😀‼️
my automated reply options were "I am so glad you are!" and "Yep, it's new!"
No shot of the truck stood up on its back end like a combiner leg :(
Dang. Kinda regret passing this guy up. Never really paid him much mind, but he looks pretty great!
I agree with the gundam leg especially with iron blooded orphans hg kits. The knee bend on those are hideous
Would you believe my favorite version of this mold was the Auto Trooper? too bad it was a multi-pack hostage, but I found a guy on ebay selling it on it's own for a fair price.

Earthrise Ironhide eventually became IDW 'ations Ironhide, so this one might just end up being 'Woke up on Cybertron dying to punch Alpha Trion' Costa Ironhide
It's important to have a shelf for every occasion
hugely respectful nod and eyebrow waggle to the Costa Ironhide, that one often gets lost to time 🫡
@@Vangelus he was a real one 🔥

I still like this figure

it's mostly because it doesn't bother me
I figured as much. It would bug me, but to each their own. Keep up the good work Vangelus. I'm always happy to see a new review :)
it’s nice to see you reviewing a toy in a timely fashion👏🏼though i will have to deduct points for how you pronounced modicum
youtube has offered me the pre-written responses of,
"It is my goal to keep up with the Transformers releases and provide accurate information! 💪"
or
"I pronounce things the way I do, that’s just the way it is lol "
@ ai is a scourge (not complimentary)
I wish I would've saw him in stores, I kinda like this look over the SS 86 (also I feel 86 was over priced)
This figure makes me yearn for more gimmick in my transforming toys
there hasnt been much transforming weapon accessories with transformers since Siege Ironhide came out. Its a shame id prefer a funky rocket hammer over a boring riffle

I quite like the earthrise mold...its good...why are you all looking at me?
BASED UNIVERSE IRONHIDE ENJOYER
I liked this guy well enough to not upgrade from it yet.
Doll Monster Cards?!?
